I bought the boat used and it had stainless but I hit something and spun it. So at that time I replaced it with aluminum. I was told to drill 1/4 in hole in each blade and it would help hole shot but I can't tell that it did.

If you can't find anyone local, you can send it to General Propeller in Bradenton, FL. I used to deal with them when I lived there. In addition to rehubbing, they can do things like add cup like I mentioned before (cup ads "lift" at the sacrifice of a little top end). They work on props from all over the world - including some seriously high-end stuff like offshore powerboat racing props, but they are still competitively priced.
I had a cupped prop on my 150, 18’ bass boat and liked the hole shot and bow lift. Made it perform much better than the other prop of the same pitch that didn’t have the cup. I also agree that a stainless prop will work better than aluminum.
There was a prop shop in northern Alabama in or near Huntsville that quoted me good prices and had a good reputation in the area.
